Comment 10 for bug 2051838

Also have this issue (100% cpu usage by /usr/sbin/rsyslogd) with Firefox in Sway on Ubuntu 22.04. So far I've only noticed this after reloading the sway config (`swaymsg reload` or Mod+Shift+c).

The log line comes from wayland-proxy[1], which is used by Firefox.

This workaround didn't work for me, even after replacing the `~` with `stop`.
